However, Cariboo is still one of my go-to activities. It's the game that just keeps on giving to me :) So, in this post, I wanted to share how I've been using it with my new caseload!
1. Speech Generating Devices
I've been trialing the iPad as a communication device for 2 of my kids, and one of them LOVES Cariboo. With his device, we've been able to use core words such as "I" "you" "go" "want" "in" "out" "turn" "more" and "finished"/"all done." I've also been modeling two word utterances on the device; for example, the Cariboo balls "go+in," we "take+out," "put+in," "I+go" "you+go" "want+turn" etc...
One day, I didn't have Cariboo out, but the day before, we had been practicing "I go" "you go" and "want." My little guy looked around and spotted Cariboo on the back counter, then used his device to say "want" "go" "want" "go" "want" "go" and then looked at me. I said, "Oh, we practiced those words yesterday when we played Cariboo-- is that what you want to play?" and he nodded his head yes! #proudSLPmoment
2. Picture exchange
A couple of my kiddos are using a picture exchange system to communicate, and using an icon of the Cariboo key is a way we can practice requesting an object while playing this game.
3. Verbs
One of my more verbal kiddos is working on using 2-3 word verb phrases, so we've been working on verbs that are more core-word based, like "put" "take" "go" "see" "want" "turn" and "open" (ie "put in" "put ball in" "take out" "take ball out" "I go" "you go" "see ball" "I see ball" "my turn" "open box" "I want").
In a few weeks, we're going to start working on labeling verbs, as well, and my new add-on set for Cariboo includes 90 different verb cards that we'll be able to mix and match as needed! This one below is from the camping-themed verbs set.
4. Social Communication
One of my kiddos is verbal, but isn't yet using language spontaneously (and consistently) for purposes other than protesting, requesting, or labeling. We're working on making comments to others and acknowledging others' comments, and a turn-taking game like Cariboo is perfect! We've been working on making comments like, "Look!" "I got one!" "I found it!" "It's a (color) ball" "It's my turn" "It's your turn" "Good job" "You got one!" etc...

Do you love Cariboo as much as I do? What's your favorite way to use the game?

Yes! Cariboo is the perfect game for speech/language therapy. There are so many ways to use it, it's motivating for a wide variety of students (I've played it with 6th graders who loved it), and it's great for mixed groups. I can easily spend an entire 30 minute session just playing the game one time through if I require the students to complete some sort of language task as I put the cards on (e.g. "Tell me where the shoe should go - on the top, middle, or bottom row?"), as they hide the balls (e.g. "Where did you put the ball?" "Where do you think the ball landed?"), etc. They don't mind too much because it just builds the anticipation. I can also designate an entire week as "Cariboo" week and use it with all my students/groups, even when they come multiple times a week! Those weeks really save my sanity when things are crazy and I don't have a lot of planning time.
ReplyDeleteSince the game itself is so hard to come by, I sewed up some hands-on activities that are Cariboo-compatible (they have clear pockets that fit the cards) that are available in my TPT store (Speech Cadet). My students like these activities too - almost as much as the game itself! It's a great way to use all the cards that are available on TPT even if you haven't been able to locate the game yet.
P.S. I have your original language packet and the phonology packet. I frequently use the phonology cards without the game to quickly gather data. I really like the clipart that you use and the fact that the words/concepts are depicted really clearly.
Regardless of what you need to do, there are numerous programs that will give these diversions to the enthusiasm of players. Beat free program recreations are frequently exceptionally aggressive incitements. They are additionally genuine. pokegogpshack.com

ReplyDeleteI only hope that the gaming companies pay attention to this and realise that they are making role-playing games for role-players and if they're not in the market for role-players, then they should call their games by a different genre.Taruhan Online

ReplyDeleteSo as we can see all the features that are installed on a gaming keyboard can also be used for everyday computing, although the obvious design factor was initially for gamers in the first place. Another thing we must look at is the structural design of the keyboard. First thing we will notice is that some of the keyboards are slightly bulkier than a standard keyboard. Now this is to be expected as the keyboard itself houses more keys, requires more space for electrical components and other hardware utilities that are required for game play. But what is also great about the design of gaming keyboards, is that they are designed for ergonomic purposes. This is because gamers spend a lot of time in front of their keyboards and they are more prone to wrist, arm and hand discomfort than users of a standard keyboard. So the idea behind ergonomically designed gaming keyboards is to install some features that will reduce the risk of wrist discomfort overall. These features include; detachable and adjustable wrist wrest, keyboards with zero slope designs, different keyboard feet lengths for effective raising or lowering of keyboards for comfort and also keys that can accommodate softer keypresses. pre hacked games
